What a shame that City felt the need to continue smashing the minnows into the dust. I understand that you can't afford to give them too much of a chance in case they come back too strongly. They could easily have stepped off the gas a little. At one point yesterday mid match, Kompany seemed to mouth an embarrassing apology to Deeney (or A N Other).
Pre season Everton inflicted a 22-0 defeat on ATV Irdning of Austria. Where is the pride in that? The Head of a school I worked at often had to pull his year 7 team aside and tell them that from that point on it was 2 touch football for them. Or he would blow the whistle and award the other team a free kick for some minor infringement. I did year 4 football and in my 1st match we had got to 10-0, I substituted my 2 strikers and goalkeeper, told the team to play 2 touch and we still won 15-0. It is embarrassing at times.
The last couple of seasons the FA Cup seems to have concentrated on Salford FC for the early round matches, as though Salford were the only team around. I sincerely hope Salford get tonked frequently in League 2. There are other teams in the country not just a few.
A young lad I had the pleasure of in my year 4 team at school was one of the most promising if not the most, in his year group. Sadly, just into his mid teens he was robbed of a possible footballing career by a road traffic accident. With his compensation money he bought his local team and has made improvements to the ground, the club, the team and has recently started a womens team.
